.. ..In his playing days, former Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman was known for launching passes to fellow Hall-of-Famer Michael Irvin.

But, Wednesday Aikman launched something into the virtual world.

Aikman has a new fantasy football app for Facebook called Aikman 2011 Fantasy QB, developed by Boulder, Colo.-based Prediculous Inc. and Sporting News.

“Knowing a little something about that position, I wanted to create a fun fantasy game centered around QBs that anyone can play," Aikman said in a release. "From casual fans to long-time fantasy players, this game gives everyone a shot to play and win.”

Aikman works as an analyst on Fox Sports NFL broadcasts.

His game differs from other fantasy football games in that it it allows players to join a mid-season and opens leagues up to as many as 100 people.

Also, Aikman will offer his own weekly picks and will broadcast them in an exclusive video clip with the app, according to the release. Article By Lance Murry
